1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin

Instructions

1
Rinse the basmati rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear, then transfer to a bowl, cover with cold water, and soak for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2
While the rice soaks, place the rinsed lentils in a small saucepan and cover with 2 inches of cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until just tender but not mushy, about 15–18 minutes. Drain and set aside.
